Sea turtles are long living, highly migratory reptiles that range the tropical and sub­ polar oceans worldwide. They are currently considered as endangered species due to excessive egg harvesting, killing of nesting females, and incidental catch by fishing gear. Of the seven living turtle species found around the globe, six are known to reside in Southeast Asia, making parts of the region as some of the most productive turtle rookeries in the world. One species, the flatback turtle (Natator depressus), is now known to be restricted primarily to eastern Indonesia and parts of Australia. Turtles nest on sandy beaches, the female going to the same beach multiple times in a single nesting season to bury a clutch of eggs, then does not return for two to three years. Their post-nesting migration to distantly separated feeding grounds, often passing through territorial and international waters of different countries, is of grave concern to the conservationist, emphasizing the need for some regional and interna­ tional cooperation between the countries. With the importance of conserving the sea turtles for future generations in mind, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on ASEAN Sea Turtle Conservation and Pro­ tection was signed on 12 September 1997 by the ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) in Bangkok. ASEAN member countries recognized the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) as the competent technical regional organization on marine issues in the ASEAN region and fostered close cooperation and collaboration with the organization in undertaking their sea turtle conservation and protection programs. Subsequently, SEAFDEC and ASEAN met at the First Meeting of the ASEAN- SEAFDEC Fisheries Consultative Group (FCG) on 4 March 1999. The FCG agreed upon three programs for implementation under the FCG collaborative mechanism. Conservation and management of sea turtle in Southeast Asian countries was one of them. Both the SEAFDEC Council and the Senior Officials meeting of the AMAF have endorsed the proposed program on sea turtle conservation and management, and the convening of this Workshop forms a first-step activity to provide a platform for marine turtle scientists and managers of SEAFDEC and ASEAN Member Countries to meet and exchange experiences and information on the current status and future directions of research, conservation and management of sea turtles.

ISBN 983-9114-10-7 FOREWORD Southeast Asia holds a strong appeal to a myriad variety of sea creatures and one of the most important of these is the sea turtle. The region produces six of the seven living turtle species found worldwide in rookeries now renowned as some of the most productive in the world. In a world of diminishing natural heritage caused, in some cases, by man-made pollution and overexploitation for commercial reasons, any effort to conserve the sea turtle - our unique regional heritage - from total annihilation is a virtuous idea that should be supported by all parties. Some conservation efforts have been made in the past by various authorities in the region to protect the sea turtle, but the continual dwindling in the turtle population of the area indicates clearly that more stringent custodial efforts are needed. SEAFDEC MFRDMD is proud to be a part of these on-going conservation efforts. The convening of the SEAFDEC-ASEAN Regional Workshop on Sea Turtle Conservation and Management attests to this fact. By assembling this group of turtle experts and conser­ vationists that exist in the region, we hope a greater awareness concerning the turtle plight might be made available to the general public. Indeed, the greatest tribute to us from our future generations must surely lie in our own concerted humane efforts to successfully conserve these noble creatures for their enjoyment for all time.

The incident occurred at Takoradi Anchorage in Ghana on 2 Feb 18. Detailed description of the incident is tabulated in attachment. The ReCAAP ISC did not receive report of piracy or armed robbery against ships that occurred in Asia during 6-12 Feb 18. RELEASE OF ABDUCTED CREW The ReCAAP Focal Point (Philippines) reported to the ReCAAP ISC the release of two Indonesian fishermen who were held in captivity by the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) for more than a year. The two fishermen were captains of fishing vessels SSK 00520 and SN 1154; and were abducted in the waters between Pegasus Reef and Kual Kinatabangan near Taganak Island in Tawi-Tawi on 5 Nov 16. RECOMMENDATIONS The ReCAAP ISC urges ship master and crew to report all incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships to the nearest coastal State and flag State, exercise vigilance and adopt relevant preventive measures taking reference from the Regional Guide to Counter Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships in Asia. 1 The ReCAAP ISC reiterates its advisory issued via the ReCAAP ISC Incident Alert dated 21 November 2016 to all ships to re-route from the area, where possible. Otherwise, ship masters and crew are strongly urged to exercise extra vigilance while transiting the Sulu-Celebes
